Please provide an option to disable insights, because some insights are not logical and we don't want them to be visible to the management

Desparately needs this capacity. This feature is very cool for developer and analysts. However, in many cases that the end users doesn't understand the raw data very well or there are many definitions and assumption on the fields, the end-users can draw a wrong conclusion based on "Quick Analysis".

Another work-around is to hide all tables in the report.

"•Hide or unhide columns in your dataset. Power BI quick insights doesn't search hidden columns. So hide duplicate or unnecessary columns and unhide interesting columns."

Workaround: Quick Insights isn't supported for datasets with row level security. You could add a RLS role to the report without a filter. This will disable the functionality.

It's a perfect example of a clever but ultimately useless product only a data scientist could dream up...

Please change insights to be an item that you can toggle on and off, so that it is not always on by default. Sometimes it is not useful to have the Analyze feature accessible on published reports on the web, as it is often not accurate to what is being shown, or shows less than useful information.

Please add this capability. One of the greatest faults in development is trying to control how your users will use a product. For some of us, especially those who do more than just financial analytics, this feature just doesn't work well. It's a cool feature but there needs to be an option to disable it.
